Ali's class started with a review of how to increase a pokemon's condition, followed by a simple video of how a pokemon contest works. It all seemed to bore Ali and Princess, but Ninetails was very confused. Upon this, Ali and his classmates were taught which pokemon were generally used for which contests. Ninetails was a fire type, meaning she would be best used in either a cool contest, or a beauty contest... The sound of beauty added a ring of excitement to the self-absorbed Ninetails', but the class was finished only moments later. Ali's last class before Lunch, Battle Tactics, seemed to be the usual... There was Professor Maple, commenting on Princess' weak frame, but then there was also the glare of potential which was flashed at Ninetails every now-and-then. With Ninetails by his side, Ali was definitely ready to go on to battle tactics with ease, not like the previous year with Princess. This seemed to displease the tiny Pichu, as her and Ninetails continuously gazed at each other with an odd sense of anger.
